Tyler the new skate board junkey

Tyler's best friend James is really into skate boarding. All Tyler wanted to do was play soccer and all James wanted to do was skate board, so needless to say many days James ended up playing soccer as Tyler did not give in too much an anything but soccer. I can imagine James trying to figure out how to get Tyler to like skate boarding (even if just a little bit) and low and behold I think he did it. Tyelr came home one day and said that he wanted to use all his money he had saved (about $90.00) to go and buy a Real skate board, not like the one he had from the local Wal Mart. So mom okayed the purchase with his dad and decided it was his money and that is why he saves it, so we let him go for it. We went to the local skate board shop and he picked out what he wanted. It was like Christmas to him and he loved it. The two boys immediately went over to Jame's house, who had a ramp in his basement that his dad built and began to teach Tyler the moves. Now all the boys want to do each day is go to the skate park and skate board. (Did I say that I can't wait till school starts this Friday) They have even talked another friends grandmother into taking them to the park because I said no after already taking them twice that week. You might ask what injuries he has received, well they haven't been too bad, but he has been wearing a writ brace and he bruised his tail bone on Thursday. (I am just grateful we have insurance now in case something more server happens)

I'm glad he's wearing wrist guards and a helmet...safety first! I never was into skateboarding and such, but anything that gets kids outside and active with good friends, right?
